Our School Partners
Our fishweir building partners
this year are the afterschool program at the Neighborhood House Charter
School in Dorchester, MA, and the Friends of the Public Garden. On fishweir
building day, NHCS students Elizabeth Murray, Aryana Blake, Jazzy
Grissettt and Clevis Murray greet the public
and explain the fishweir and its role in the history of this place we
now call Boston.
This is the fishweir
on the Boston Common, 2007.

The Ancient Fishweir Project is an annual ritual involving new groups of Boston Public School children each year. A related curriculum has been developed and will be expanded upon each year, with teachers working with our team of advisors.
